Thanks for stopping by, subcriptions and comments/ratings apreciated! We've been flooding the world with crap for decades. I definately encourage people to donate stuff and reuse/recycle whenever possible, but I must point out the facts I have learned from experience: There is simply so much worthless junk around, especially here in the U.S., that there is no place for it, no one who will recycle it, and it is either thrown out with the garbage or tossed in a back alley or road or rotting away in vacant lots.
Recycling and donating goes a long way towards helping the problem, but it definately is not the ultimate solution.
Half of this GARBAGE didnt even need to be manufactured in the first place! Much of the blame lies with the masters of industry, but on the other hand we are the ones who fall for their traps.

  • If you're so concerned about the environment, then why did you take all the metal instead of telling the folks go and take it to a scrap yard? Looks like a bunch of people throwing stuff away. I fail to see what was wrong with the metal garbage can or even the bikes? Goodwill will have taken the bikes; they were in decent shape. Oh well, I've always said people were wasteful and stupid. This video keeps that fact alive.

  • I am paid to provide a service, I am not paid to tell customers what to do. I encourage them to be more responsible, but I do as they wish.

    There are people that will go around and scavenge alot of the metal on their own, but people simply accumulate too much worthless crap over the years that nobody wants. Even Goodwills throw away tons of stuff all the time, I've seen it myself.

    The fact is, we continue to flood the world with useless crap that doesnt even need to exist in the first place.

  • I have yet to see Goodwill throw away lots of good stuff. I have been there after donating good stuff to them and it's sorted. In fact, just donated yesterday and watched it get sorted. Now, you give them broken or soiled, etc items...you can bet it will get pitched. They can't and/or won't sell it. I really can't blame them. I think all waste providers should prohibit picking up items that can be recycled (like scrap metal) or disposed of properly (like TVs).

  • But you didnt hang around to see what they do later!...when they have reached their limit or have too much of anything it gets trashed, regardless of whether or not its good stuff.

    I totally agree that waste providers should prohibit certain items, but it all depends on the market and the location. If a waste provider doesnt have the support of the local government they cannot prohibit these items without risking losing to the competition.

  • Basicly I'm agreeing with you, not arguing. In most of my videos you see many examples of extreme wastefullness, which has been typical of this city.

    BUT...to be fair...the company I work for is the leader in the movement for change in how we handle our waste around here, and they are investing much money and effort in this.

    For example, our new Recycle Bank program, which has revolutionized recycling in our city, and its only just begun...

  • is it a heil powertrak by any chance

  • Its a Mcneilus, not sure what model it is though...

  • @WasteCnxsideloader

    I have read that it is possible to do recycling after everything has been collected together. One crushes the trash to very small pieces, it's called a "trash mill", and then you can recycle the components separately. - Here in Germany, it is seldom done, we as citizens have to sort the trash ourselves, we have - depending on your city - from 4 to 7 different trash bins: organic, plastics, metal, light glass, dark glass, paper, general refuse.
